60 When you are famous, you are prone to gossip (3)
She didn't know she was wrong, she just felt scared.
Zhao Ziyi looked at Lin Jing for help, hoping that he would consider their friendship as classmates, or even if not their friendship, at least the relationship between their elders, and help her speak up.
But Lin Jing never even looked at her from beginning to end.
Lin Jing's eyes never left Li Yaya from the moment she entered the door.
Lin Jing and Li Yaya are in cahoots.
Zhao Ziyi felt hopeless for a moment.
Yingying answered a phone call and whispered a few words before finally saying "I know."
Then he walked over to Li Yaya's ear and whispered, "Sister, Lao Zhang said there are reporters outside."
Reporters? Li Yaya was puzzled as to why there were reporters here.
The place Lin Jing had chosen was private enough. Even if there were reporters waiting outside, at least they couldn't get in. But staying here wasn't a long-term solution for her.
She looked at Lin Jing, "Is there a back door here?"
It's only natural for a place like this to have a hidden back door.
Because, you never know, one day, in which private room, some shameful people or things might appear.
"have."
"Did you drive?"
"It's open."
"There are reporters outside now. I can't go out directly through the front door. I'll let the driver go first, and I'll take your car and go out the back door. Come pick me up after the driver has shaken off them."
Lin Jing took Li Yaya and left through the back door. No one paid any attention to Zhao Ziyi.
The back door was indeed extremely hidden. If they hadn't had a staff member to lead the way, they would never have found it on their own. Lin Jing drove to the back door and waited for Li Yaya.
Sure enough, there were no reporters at the back door.
Lin Jing was driving, Yingying was sitting in the passenger seat, and Li Yaya was sitting alone in the back seat.
Through the rearview mirror, Lin Jing looked at Li Yaya.
As if she felt Lin Jing's gaze, she said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
But Lin Jing felt that it would be inconvenient with Yingying present.
"Yingying is fine, just tell me."
"sorry."
Li Yaya didn't expect that the first word Lin Jing said was "I'm sorry."
But on second thought, he really should say sorry to her. If it weren't for him, the Zhao Ziyi incident would never have happened, and she would never have any intersection with this person named Zhao Ziyi in her life.
"But I won't tell you it's okay."
Because of a relationship, as she was getting better day by day, it was she who once again made her remember that past clearly and lay it out in front of the public, accepting everyone's criticism. Although the voices of support and encouragement were overwhelming, she would rather not have the support and encouragement that would come from exposing her scars again.
So, a light "I'm sorry" cannot be exchanged for an "It's okay" response.
"I--" Lin Jing just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Li Yaya's cell phone ringing. He took a look at the caller and saw it was Jiang Yi.
Li Yaya thought about it for a moment and finally hung up the phone. She replied to Jiang Yi, "I'm outside and can't talk. I'll contact you later."
She couldn't expose her relationship with Jiang Yi to anyone else. Lin Jing, like Zhao Ziyi, was now a threat to Li Yaya. The only solution was to keep her affairs private and let him know as little as possible.
"Yingying, contact Lao Zhang and ask him if he got rid of him?"
Yingying called Lao Zhang, and when she got a reply, Lao Zhang and the paparazzi were stuck in traffic. Maybe Li Yaya should wait, or see where they were going first and then he would pick them up.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there."
Li Yaya thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the company."
Lin Jing changed direction and headed towards Li Yaya's company.
After arriving at the destination, although Li Yaya had asked about the company's situation in advance, she still carefully observed the surroundings. After making sure that there was no one around, she said sorry to Lin Jing and hurried in.
But I didn’t expect that Lin Jing would park the car aside and go in as well.
Shanshan was at the front desk. Seeing the unfamiliar face at the door, she smiled confidently, "Hello, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"
Lin Jing looked around, but there was no sign of Li Yaya.
"I'm looking for Li Yaya."
"Do you have a date?"
I have to ask clearly, this is Shanshan's job, otherwise she can't just let anyone in if they say they're looking for someone. How unsafe.
"Tell her my name is Lin Jing, and she will come out." Except when facing Li Yaya, Lin Jing returned to his original attitude of keeping strangers away.
Shanshan pondered for a moment. The man in front of her looked respectable, not like some shady character. She could just give him a call and ask. It wouldn't hurt to ask. Who knows, maybe he's actually Yaya's friend.
"Wait a moment, I'll ask."
Shanshan turned around and called Li Yaya.
After hearing Lin Jing's name, Li Yaya was surprised, "He hasn't left yet?"
"Yes, Yaya, I'm looking for you at the front desk."
"Okay, I got it. I'll be right over."
Shanshan hung up the phone and looked at Lin Jing with a standard smile, "You can sit over there for a while. Sister Yaya said she would be here soon."
"Thanks."
Lin Jing thanked him but did not move. He just stood there waiting for Li Yaya to come over.
Shanshan was extremely curious at this moment. She secretly looked at the man in front of her. She was so curious about who this man was and what his relationship with Li Yaya was... In short, no matter what the relationship was, it must be a close one.
Li Yaya came over from upstairs and stood in front of Lin Jing, "Why didn't you leave?"
"I have something to tell you."
"Oh, then go ahead."
Lin Jing glanced around and keenly caught Shanshan's furtive glances at the two of them. "I want to talk to you alone."
"Okay, this is really not a good place to talk. Let's go to the second floor."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the second floor, with Lin Jing following closely behind him.
Where there are people, there will be gossip. As soon as the two left, the other colleagues gathered around Shanshan and the two of them started gossiping.
"Hey, Shanshan, what's the relationship between these two people?"
"I don't know, but they are very close. It feels like - an old lover. Yes, it feels like an old lover. And, it's hard to say, Sister Yaya, but this boy definitely still likes Sister Yaya."
"Well, tell me, does Sister Reddy know about this?"
On the second floor, Li Yaya found an empty room and sat down.
"Go ahead."
"I still want to say sorry to you about Zhao Ziyi—"
"Wait a minute. First of all, given your current relationship with Zhao Ziyi, you are not qualified to apologize to me on her behalf. Secondly, if you want to apologize for causing this to happen because of you, I've already said that I won't say it doesn't matter, because it does matter. Finally, if you still want to continue saying these words, then there is no need to continue. You can leave."
Li Yaya, you have really changed.
There were two important turning points in Li Yaya's life. One was when she learned that Lee Kin-yan was ill, and the other was when she walked down the red carpet hand in hand with Leung Chiu-chiu.
Every step she takes counts.
"Yaya, you've really changed a lot."
"People always have to grow up, don't they?" Li Yaya looked at Lin Jing with a frank look, too frank, so frank that Lin Jing began to panic.
"You've changed a lot from the way I remember you to who you are now. We're not sixteen or seventeen anymore. Don't use those childish rhetoric. We're all adults now, so don't waste each other's time."
Li Yaya's time is very valuable now.
"Yes, I have something to say."
Li Yaya didn't say anything, but just signaled Lin Jing to continue with her eyes.
"Ya Ya, I've already started my own business. Although it's not very big yet, it's been developing steadily. I'll soon be able to break away from Shao Lan's control and do what I want and pursue what I want. So, can you give me a chance?"
Not to mention that Li Yaya is not single now. Even if she was single, she would not like Lin Jing. The fundamental reason why she doesn't like Lin Jing has never been because of Shao Lan.
On the contrary, Li Yaya now seemed to understand Shao Lan a little. If she were in his place, she would not want the child whom she had painstakingly raised with huge manpower and material resources for so many years to be with a child who grew up in a completely unequal family.
Only when people are in a certain position can they understand things that they found difficult to accept before.
Li Yaya looked at Lin Jing and suddenly felt that what she had just said, "The you in my memory and the you now have changed a lot," was not true. Lin Jing had never really changed, but Li Yaya had never known what kind of person Lin Jing was.
Just like at this moment, he wanted Li Yaya to give him a chance, but she didn't think he wanted this chance because he loved her. Love can be felt, so he didn't love.
"cannot."
"Why!" Lin Jing's voice suddenly became louder, as if on the verge of losing control. "Why won't you even give me a chance!"
"Then why don't you give Zhao Ziyi a chance." Li Yaya spoke, deliberately hitting people's hearts. After she said this, Lin Jing was like a deflated ball, and the confidence he had in questioning loudly just now was gone.
He knew why he refused to give Zhao Ziyi a chance. It was because he disliked her and even felt a little disgusted with her. It turned out that Li Yaya not only disliked him, but even hated him.
"Can you tell me why?" Unlike the question just now, there was a hint of pleading in Lin Jing's tone now.
"Because I don't like you. I didn't before, I don't now, and I won't in the future. It's not that you're bad, it's just that we've never been on the same path. Don't be so stubborn with me anymore. You will meet someone who truly walks the same path with you."
In the end, Li Yaya still softened her heart. After all, she would take their previous friendship into consideration.
But she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
What’s past is past.
What's more, in Li Yaya's eyes, they are just ordinary classmates without a past, nothing more.
